The
superintendent
of
police
turned
round
at
that
moment
with
a
scared
look
,
said
something
to
his
coachman
,
and
his
horses
increased
their
speed
.
"
It
's
a
fraud
,
lads
!
Lead
the
way
to
him
,
himself
!
"
shouted
the
tall
youth
.
"
Do
n't
let
him
go
,
lads
!
Let
him
answer
us
!
Keep
him
!
"
shouted
different
people
and
the
people
dashed
in
pursuit
of
the
trap
.
Following
the
superintendent
of
police
and
talking
loudly
the
crowd
went
in
the
direction
of
the
Lubyánka
Street
.
"
There
now
,
the
gentry
and
merchants
have
gone
away
and
left
us
to
perish
.
Do
they
think
we
're
dogs
?
"
voices
in
the
crowd
were
heard
saying
more
and
more
frequently
.
On
the
evening
of
the
first
of
September
,
after
his
interview
with
Kutúzov
,
Count
Rostopchín
had
returned
to
Moscow
mortified
and
offended
because
he
had
not
been
invited
to
attend
the
council
of
war
,
and
because
Kutúzov
had
paid
no
attention
to
his
offer
to
take
part
in
the
defense
of
the
city
;
amazed
also
at
the
novel
outlook
revealed
to
him
at
the
camp
,
which
treated
the
tranquillity
of
the
capital
and
its
patriotic
fervor
as
not
merely
secondary
but
quite
irrelevant
and
unimportant
matters
.
Distressed
,
offended
,
and
surprised
by
all
this
,
Rostopchín
had
returned
to
Moscow
.
After
supper
he
lay
down
on
a
sofa
without
undressing
,
and
was
awakened
soon
after
midnight
by
a
courier
bringing
him
a
letter
from
Kutúzov
.
This
letter
requested
the
count
to
send
police
officers
to
guide
the
troops
through
the
town
,
as
the
army
was
retreating
to
the
Ryazán
road
beyond
Moscow
.
This
was
not
news
to
Rostopchín
.
He
had
known
that
Moscow
would
be
abandoned
not
merely
since
his
interview
the
previous
day
with
Kutúzov
on
the
Poklónny
Hill
but
ever
since
the
battle
of
Borodinó
,
for
all
the
generals
who
came
to
Moscow
after
that
battle
had
said
unanimously
that
it
was
impossible
to
fight
another
battle
,
and
since
then
the
government
property
had
been
removed
every
night
,
and
half
the
inhabitants
had
left
the
city
with
Rostopchín
's
own
permission
.
Yet
all
the
same
this
information
astonished
and
irritated
the
count
,
coming
as
it
did
in
the
form
of
a
simple
note
with
an
order
from
Kutúzov
,
and
received
at
night
,
breaking
in
on
his
beauty
sleep
.
When
later
on
in
his
memoirs
Count
Rostopchín
explained
his
actions
at
this
time
,
he
repeatedly
says
that
he
was
then
actuated
by
two
important
considerations
:
to
maintain
tranquillity
in
Moscow
and
expedite
the
departure
of
the
inhabitants
.
If
one
accepts
this
twofold
aim
all
Rostopchín
's
actions
appear
irreproachable
.
"
Why
were
the
holy
relics
,
the
arms
,
ammunition
,
gunpowder
,
and
stores
of
corn
not
removed
?
Why
were
thousands
of
inhabitants
deceived
into
believing
that
Moscow
would
not
be
given
up
--
and
thereby
ruined
?
"
"
To
preserve
the
tranquillity
of
the
city
,
"
explains
Count
Rostopchín
.
"
Why
were
bundles
of
useless
papers
from
the
government
offices
,
and
Leppich
's
balloon
and
other
articles
removed
?
"
"
To
leave
the
town
empty
,
"
explains
Count
Rostopchín
.
One
need
only
admit
that
public
tranquillity
is
in
danger
and
any
action
finds
a
justification
.
All
the
horrors
of
the
reign
of
terror
were
based
only
on
solicitude
for
public
tranquillity
.
On
what
,
then
,
was
Count
Rostopchín
's
fear
for
the
tranquillity
of
Moscow
based
in
1812
?
What
reason
was
there
for
assuming
any
probability
of
an
uprising
in
the
city
?
The
inhabitants
were
leaving
it
and
the
retreating
troops
were
filling
it
.
Why
should
that
cause
the
masses
to
riot
?
Neither
in
Moscow
nor
anywhere
in
Russia
did
anything
resembling
an
insurrection
ever
occur
when
the
enemy
entered
a
town
.
More
than
ten
thousand
people
were
still
in
Moscow
on
the
first
and
second
of
September
,
and
except
for
a
mob
in
the
governor
's
courtyard
,
assembled
there
at
his
bidding
,
nothing
happened
.
It
is
obvious
that
there
would
have
been
even
less
reason
to
expect
a
disturbance
among
the
people
if
after
the
battle
of
Borodinó
,
when
the
surrender
of
Moscow
became
certain
or
at
least
probable
,
Rostopchín
instead
of
exciting
the
people
by
distributing
arms
and
broadsheets
had
taken
steps
to
remove
all
the
holy
relics
,
the
gunpowder
,
munitions
,
and
money
,
and
had
told
the
population
plainly
that
the
town
would
be
abandoned
.
